As the monsoon season peaks across Western India, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued heavy rain alerts for Mumbai and the coastal Konkan region. While the dramatic rains make for incredible photography, localized waterlogging is causing temporary flight delays and train disruptions. If you are planning a trip to India right now, skip the risky mountain trekking in the Western Ghats. Instead, pivot to indoor cultural experiences, heritage museum tours, or book a luxury monsoon staycation in safe city hubs.
